name: nvim description: | This skill should be used when the user asks to "open in nvim", "show in editor", "open file in nvim", "edit in nvim", "nvim open", "send to nvim", "open buffer", "view in neovim", or "open this in my editor". Requires NVIM_SOCKET environment variable to be set (automatic in worktree sessions). Not for editing files directly - this sends files to the user's nvim instance.

Open Files in Nvim

Open files in the running nvim instance connected to this tmux session.

Command

Copynvim --server "$NVIM_SOCKET" --remote <files...>

Environment

• $NVIM_SOCKET - Path to the nvim socket (set automatically in worktree sessions)

Examples

Copy# Open a single file
nvim --server "$NVIM_SOCKET" --remote src/index.ts

# Open multiple files
nvim --server "$NVIM_SOCKET" --remote src/index.ts src/utils.ts

# Open file at specific line (use +line before filename)
nvim --server "$NVIM_SOCKET" --remote +42 src/index.ts

Troubleshooting

• Socket not set: Ensure you're in a worktree session, or manually set NVIM_SOCKET
• Connection refused: The nvim instance may have closed; restart nvim with v . --listen $NVIM_SOCKET
• File not opening: Verify the file path is correct and accessible

Notes

• The socket is set via tmux set-environment at session creation
• New panes/windows in the session inherit NVIM_SOCKET
